quail quit laying

[jackiedon]

I have 3 female and 2 male coturnix quail. A month ago I was getting 3 eggs a day but now I'm only getting 1 a day. Does anyone know why they have quit laying?

There are a few things that can cause that

Weather
Change
Oh and they just feel like it!

Thanks Cyrstal! The were hatched out last fall. One does have a lot of feathers missing but it's around the neck and I've seen the male pulling on them during mating.

I put every egg I get in the bator so one a day isn't filling up very fast.

Thanks again.
